> Is there an equivalent legally codified and enforceable standard for the web?

More or less yes. The link I posted has a few good resources, but generally speaking sites need to work with a screen reader and they need to be accessible via the keyboard (which by extension enables other accessibility devices).

This site has some more guidelines. https://www.essentialaccessibility.com/blog/ada-guidelines

Generally speaking, if you start with existing components that do the thing you want done, you have a huge leg up. If you try to reinvent the wheel, you are likely in for a lot of trouble. The more complex the control, the harder it is to roll your own. Calendar controls and Selects are particularly tough to get right.

UPDATE: Also, the wc3 has some good guidelines which should cover your ass.

This post feels like a uninformed and undifferentiated rant against "things are too complex". Let's start with the first paragraph: What does the JavaScript fetch API have to do with data management? How can you compare the fetch() API with Swagger (an API documentation format) with Protobuf (a serialisation format)? That doesn't even make sense.

Second paragraph: "The UI should automatically update everywhere the data is used". Again, what does this have to do with any of the above? That is state management, yeah, and you can build proper state management with any HTTP library and any message serialisation format.

Request batching: How would that happen "automatically"? By waiting to fire requests and then batching them?

UX when fetching data: What does that have to do with any of the above? You still have to decide how your UI displays the fact that a piece of data is loading. What do you expect there to be in place? Best thing I could imagine is to have a global operations indicators a la Adobe Lightroom which tells you how many HTTP requests are in flight.

I could go on, but the last paragraphs maybe highlights the lack of understanding the author had: "UI Frameworks (at this point, React has won)". If React had "won" then why would we be having this discussion. React hasn't "won" because it solves one piece of the puzzle: Rendering. For every little other thing you have to incorporate another library or figure out your own solution: Routing, State Management, CRUD / HTTP API, etc. If anything, Ember.js would most closely fit the bill of incorporating most of the things the author seems to care about yet can't articulate clearly.
It's a joke on "hold", meaning don't sell.
If I'm not mistaken, that's kind of the point. People are willing to throw money away to punish Wall Street.
Favorite quote from the YT vid -

"I believe one person can produce enough 5-MeO-DMT to supply everyone that would ever want it".

Wikipedia link for the curious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-MeO-DMT (Hint - it mentions 5-MeO-DMT is being developed and evaluated for potential therapeutic effects in patients suffering from Treatment-Resistant Depression).

Thanks for posting this partingshots - It's always good when information wants to be free ;-)
https://www.techspot.com/review/2188-amd-ryzen-5980hs/

For example, Cinebench R20: Ryzen 9 5980HS (35W) scores 4517, Core i9-10980HK scores 3484. Other benchmarks follow suit, but that's the first one listed.

> With Ryzen 5000, and by extension the Ryzen 9 5980HS, AMD is delivering much better single-thread performance. The 5980HS provides a ~20% gain versus the 4900HS, which is significant for an architectural improvement on the same process node. This takes the 5980HS above Intel’s 10th-gen H-series in all workloads, and allows Zen 3 to trade blows with Intel’s Tiger Lake featuring Willow Cove CPU cores

Tiger Lake is competitive in single core, but I believe they currently top out at 4-core CPUs.

> The Ryzen 9 5980HS is by far the fastest mobile processor available in the 35W power class, and easily offers 20-30% more performance than Intel’s best chip, the Core i9-10980HK, at a lower power level.
SEC got neutered when the previous US administration got into power. The administration before that was actively pursuing cases.
In principle, but it's fundamentally challenging to forecast this kind of thing. For example, Kodak is still up almost 300% (down from like 1,000% in July) on the news of a government loan they haven't received and a pivot to pharmaceuticals manufacturing they haven't started.
>90% of those redditors (maybe 99%) will loose a lot of money.

Hatred and spite for "traditional" (and patronizing) investor opinions like this is what is driving WSB.
To be fair there is about a 10k price difference between a model 3 and Leaf.

Not saying your points are untrue but for completeness you would expect less for a cheaper car. We can certainly point to the technology gap between the two being too wide but at the end of the day they are not at the same price point.
Exactly! It's coordination on a scale never seen. But yes, traditional P+D been around forever.
The benefit of 5G is... 5G?

Surely the difference of 5G over 4G is the benefit... which doesn't seem to be much.

This is re-incarnation of what used to be religion. Religion is alive an well, just not in form that our predecessors were familiar with.
Sorry but this is incorrect - they can't be hashed because the password needs to be used as-is for the wireless authentication procedure, at least for PSK-based auth (EAP can indeed use certificates and the private key is never revealed).

The key is probably stored in some hex format (I think wpa_supplicant in Linux also supports this format) but it's not hashing per-se as it's reversible.
High potential candidates are great candidates that will be even better with time. Imagine you're a band auditioning for a guitarist, and not just any guitarist, but one with the potential to be Great.

Would you really think someone with a mediocre audition fits the bill? Probably not. A potentially great guitarist will have already achieved certain milestones when you audition them. They will play all the songs you ask them to very well, but they will also show you something that really demonstrates their talent.

You might think 3/4 is pretty good. And maybe it is. But candidates with high potential probably ace them, and have other qualities that aren't asked about in the interview. For example, the greatest intern I ever hired had no practical experience in our field, but developed a very successful game mod. Achievements like that are the mark of potential.
I've also noticed that USA-based users of CCS chargers often report needing to fiddle with the plug to get the car to charge.

Most of the reports I've seen are drivers of the e-Tron, Bolt and Setec CCS (for Tesla) adapter. They often report needing to put pressure on the handle while the station is handshaking with the car to avoid spurious ground isolation faults and/or communication errors. I don't recall reading anything similar with Teslas at Superchargers.

Given that this happens across manufacturers, I'm inclined to think that it is either a design flaw with CCS or a not-clearly-specified part of the CCS spec.
I'm interested in hearing who is actually hiring bootcamp grads? I've not actually met one before (though maybe bootcampers don't end up in backend roles)
The simplest way to measure impact on users would be to just use boomerang which gets you all of this out of the box: https://github.com/akamai/boomerang

To do it yourself, you need a combination of PainTiming and measuring LongTasks or study the periodicity of setInterval/requestAnimationFrame

The above works for synthetic as well as real users. If you're able to measure real users directly, then you'd also want to look at Input Delays, Rage Clicks, Dead Clicks, Missed Clicks, Scroll Jank.
And that's absolutely okay! I totally get not wanting that experience, and I'm glad that we're at a point with EV development that the styles are proliferating so people have those choices.

Personally I just love the disruption Tesla has caused to the "idea" of a car and its interface. I hope it'll encourage other car manufacturers to reconsider how they do their interfaces--even if they don't consolidate all their controls into the touchscreen, I hope at the very least the media systems in cars start being of higher-quality, now that people see what's possible.
Certainly. Before zooms became common, 50mm was absolutely the standard "kit" lens for an SLR. Personally, I always preferred something a bit wider for day-to-day. Of course, most people generally use zooms these days.
Agree - and glad to hear that. I think the statement should have been posted along the lines of a majority of people who are in positions of power in the financial industry barely care about retail.
An associated qn is what price GME would issue new stock at if such a deal took place? higher/ lower/ current stock price?

Suppose lower. Unlikely. Because a better price for GME to raise capital exists -- the current stock price.

Suppose at (approx.) current stock price. Possible. But what's in it for GME to offer such a deal to shorts instead of offering it to stockholders? Suppose offer to stockholders, then shorts still have to cover and thus potential of short squeeze remains (which is beneficial to future capital raises). Now, suppose GME offered it to shorts, squeeze is extinguished, the rally fizzles, stockholders who propped up GME's price feel betrayed. At offer to raise capital at current stock prices seem better placed with stockholders than shorts.

Suppose higher. Now we might be on to something. Without GME's offer, the shorts have to close out huge positions by buying from the secondary mkt -- short squeezing the price up and making future purchases to close remaining short positions increasingly costly. Shorts don't want this. Shorts would rather close by buying shares at a higher, _constant_ price (constant means not subject to squeeze). GME, if desperate for capital, could extend an olive branch to shorts with a deal that says, hey, I'm offering n stocks at a 75% premium to the current price of $400, wanna take it?

I think buffer also made their various iterations of salary formulas public.
There is a lot of focus on PWAs etc, while basic functionality like sub pixel scrolling is absent in _all_ browsers.
I'll be curious to see how the effect on kids plays out. Are there kids who are better off with distance learning because it got them away from schoolyard bullies? Will most kids now be more understanding of other kids who were isolates before, knowing now what isolation feels like? How will this affect the fads of the 2030s as these kids come of age?
I'd be interested to see what you're working on. How would you reduce the amount of content? Would people still be able to find it by search? Or is this more of a Facebook/Whatsapp without the extra bs?

I've been trying to block social media and have finally managed to do it (DoH was a pain in the ass to block). Although I can still access websites on mobile, working on that.

I quit Imgur after years and I don't understand why I was even going there. Now everything looks dumb and uninteresting. Truly like a drug addiction.
"I would do one week of code, then spend the following week tweeting / blog posting about what I shipped — then repeat"

This right here is a very important organizing principle for indie devs. It's more effective than say doing both coding and promotion in parallel by dividing the the day into two.
Wow. Almost feels like a bait and switch. GitLab is now completely uncompetitive with GitHub in terms of price structure. 4-5x on monthly cost.
The author does a good job of summarizing the relevant aspects of fetching data in a modern web-app.

However, by NO means should all of this be handled by one "data-fetching library" - as he suggests.
> the informal communication about stuff "that everyone knows doesn't actually work"

Informal communication, as an important part of the system of "science", seems very underappreciated in nearby threads.

Science in quotes because even subfields can be very diverse.

Often the corrective mechanism isn't retractions or demotion, it's the hallway gossip at conferences, the "don't believe it - he (high-profile PI) sees what he wants to see". And associated differential aging-out of relevance. There can be a lot of science system state that isn't captured by the short-term state of the research literature.

But regrettably, as the stories here of smashed careers and lives illustrate, it can be very far from "everyone" that "knows". And a big difference between someone "knowing", and that being well expressed in their mentorship and leadership.
One of the big linked sites was Beyonce's web site.

How big an issue this is depends largely on how big your hobby site is.

Update: I think this might even be wrong, its likely personal sites are fine. It's still good practice though!
If you're not selling anything, then you're not engaged in commerce and you wouldn't qualify as a "public accommodation" and the law doesn't kick in for you.

(Complete list of public accommodation is 24 USC §12181(7)--https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/12181).
My comment is from the article. You could read the linked article for more details. I do honestly struggle to understand why people need to defend the superich.
The image caches offer no means to identify individual users unless you're able to re-parse the client side (cached) data. Guess what component is essential to perform that client-side parsing?
Institutional investor and hedge funds aren't the same thing. It's my understanding that the shorts were put on by hedge funds.

As far as I know institutional investors can't short stocks.
With the implied context

But I repeat myself.
It seems like the left is already doing that, just in the opposite direction. Poverty has continued to decrease in the U.S. so we longer talk about it much, instead we focus on "income inequality" because it serves a particular political philosophy. If "income inequality" is a major issue regardless of how well people are doing, then there will always be a reason to intervene in the economy and redistribute wealth, since any society with any sort of market economy will always see an uneven distribution of wealth.
My guess is that some learn react et al without ever really learning HTML first.
Nissan advertised that when they released the Leaf: "charge at Nissan dealers". They apparently forgot to tell the dealers, because one's experience can be...mixed, according to online reports. I can't confirm one way or another as I don't think I've ever tried to get a charge from a dealer.
Using telephoto lenses and angles that preclude the audience from understanding distances between people in a crowd without knowing the specifications of photography equipment is absolutely fine for artistic effect, but in documentary shots IMO it treads the line next to bad (regardless of the times) journalism, especially if another composition that allows the viewer to approximate crowd density objectively is possible.
For all the folks talking about pro's and con's of social media companies, the government (and investing world) are working on a solution to make these kinds of findings empirical. It's called Economic, Social, and Governance metrics (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/environmental-social-an...)

Probably the best recent example was the drumbeat in favor of invading Iraq, despite every scrap of evidence showing that there was no defensible reason for it, and that it would utterly fail its objectives even on its own crack-brained terms.

A military unit whose brief is deceiving the American public will necessarily attract participants whose chosen role in life is that, so will naturally become a center of corruption in an already corrupt enterprise.

What is the point of the Navy/UFO operation? We may never know.

almost all of the mentioned issues have solutions out their but the author is jumping around the stack with no sense of true purpose. How does graphql impact your SPA updating views, it doesn’t..
What functionality are you referring to? pfSense Plus will be what was called pfSense FE (what's loaded on your Netgate appliance). So initially it will be the exact same as pfSense CE 2.5. As it moves forward it will diverge and more more features such as API, new GUI, multi-instance management, etc.
Short sellers are incentivized to uncover scams and overvalued equities, as a few other folks pointed out. There are firms like Muddy Water doing the hard work of finding companies swindling investors and using publicly available data to make a case against them. Without short selling, they lose the incentive to do that.
The size of any of my sites is well below 1 milli-Beyonce.
To be honest, not really.

Where I work we run Gentoo on all our servers because we have many changes across the Linux stack and deal with custom, internal hardware. We have build profiles for various system configurations that are entirely reproducible on a binary level. It made sense since we have many similar or identical systems globally and need access to the latest kernel versions.

I installed it on all my personal systems to force myself to learn how to use it. I ran Arch on everything previously. Then I went and did something stupid - I fell in love with Gentoo's package management system. As someone who writes a lot of code on my own time as well, I found Gentoo's package manager (portage) to be the least headache inducing of all the ones I'd used (deb, rpm, PKGBUILD). This is my own subjective opinion obviously.
Not in the US, at least. The US supercharger connectors are Tesla-proprietary. In the US, the EU forced Tesla to join the CCS standard.

Notably, the CCS standard didn't exist when Tesla began rolling out their infrastructure. And I think Tesla open-sourced the patents for their DC charging in the hope that folks would standardize on their technology, but I don't know that they ever had plans to allow non-Tesla vehicles t o use their charging network.

I also don't know if Europe CCS Tesla chargers can be used by non-teslas, but I would assume that's the case--otherwise, what's the point of the standardization?

At any rate, I do hope to see other manufactures push for a unified charging network, explicitly so that non-Tesla EVs can experience the same luxuries as first party vehicles.
> Now they are upset that apps like Robinhood has provided unprecedented access to the markets. Their exclusive access to insane gambling nonsense is being torn down in real time.

This is such hilariously clueless nonsense, the fact that it's expressed with such smug confidence and upvoted to the top of the thread is really emblematic of HN's complete ignorance of any topic outside of programming.

When retail volume goes up there a plenty of "professionals" (brokerages, market makers) that make a killing off executing the retail flow. I assure you the industry is loving the fact that everyone and their cat is FOMOing into trying to day-trade on Robinhood. If you really want to stick it to Wall Street put all your money into a low-fee index fund.
Fantastic. Who cares about customers who helped them build the features they now think are irreplaceable? The exit-only culture of these startups are simply laughable.

Time to switch all my gitlab accounts out to github, or some other provider with some sense of customer empathy.
Sidetrack: Is T1 still ~1.5 Mbps or is it referring to something more modern nowadays?
But couldn't they just settle with the original lenders without buying back the stock from the actual holders? Or is that forbidden? To me this would seem a logical decision for any lender (the business was not dead, so selling was a little bit too risky, but now taking a 100% profit and being done with that instead of having a stupidly inflated stock and 10% profits in the, seems reasonable)
In Citron's case they cast super sketchy dispersions about companies and hope that they influence investors who don't understand how the companies operate. It's right at the line and the cost of proving them wrong is not worth the effort... plus the SEC has bigger fish to fry when they have a mandate to enforce.
> Stripe nailed this. Digital Ocean nailed this

I would like to add Unity 3D engine to that list.

But that sounds great - I love writing documentation and tutorials (how many bugs and holes I am finding during that process!), so I have another justification for working on more articles for my product. I usually underestimate that 70% of traffic comes from Google looking for stuff like "measuring temperature in python".

fyi: I am building "Arduino for Biosignals" (aidlab.com/developer)
I think that can happen if the board decides to sell the company because the stock is low, then it is bought by another company that just wants to extract as much profit as quickly as possible. For example by taking on a bunch of debt to pay themselves bonsues, then declaring bankruptcy and liquidating the remaining assets. I am far from an expert, but I think something similar happened to Toys R Us.

One upside for me is that I only like interacting with people about my interests, not about personal stuff. I don’t want to hear or talk about weather/kids/sports. Social media allows me to discuss woodworking with someone in Galway instead of whatever little common ground I can find with my next door neighbor.
Ask HN: Examples of Good Readme.md Documentation?
Hi,

Currently writing the documentation for a React-based front-end and Django-based back-end application and wondering if there are good resources/best practices?

Would also love to know how to organize it properly on Git. The front-end and back-end are separate Git repos at the moment.

Cheers!
Yeah, but that doesn't mean they aren't portrayed as incels.
The kind of milk you get from males isn't exactly something most people would want to consume...

Dairy farms send their cattle to slaughter as well. It just happens on a different timescale for the females.
Seems obvious that millions of people that aren’t “supposed” to be in the labor force with a high concentration in low wage jobs would have a negative impact on said wages for those jobs. Sure there are benefits from the purchases from these workers, but there are significant costs like displaced workers on unemployment and other aid, costs for healthcare, good businesses in these industries that are unable to compete against companies that avail themselves of the cheap labor close down along with the better paying jobs, financial and social impacts on certain communities (mostly poor ones) that must deal with the inundation of people that do not speak English and are largely not tied to the community (at least initially).

However, the wealthy love this policy. Cheaper labor to build their homes, mow their lawns, clean their homes, and staff their low skill employment needs both at home and their businesses.
Yeah that's the bog standard method of moving forward every time something like this happens. never take something away from someone that they are used to... it will only breed resentment. you let them continue on at the old price and if they want xyz new shiny offering that you obviously think is worthwhile because you are charging 4x for it then they will move to the new tier and you are off the grandfather hook for that user. if they stop the service then you are off the hook and they can buy the new tier if they want to resume using the paid service.

edit: it amazes me that companies don't do this time and time again and suffer the negative repercussions of it every time.
